Cleveland leads ALCS 1-0

--

Last night, Cleveland pitching dismantled the Toronto offense with surgical precision. The trio of Tribe pitchers combined to strike out 12 Blue Jays, with Corey Kluber and Andrew Miller accounting for 11 of them. While I wouldn't anticipate that same outcome today, Josh Tomlin will have to find a way to keep hitters off balance long enough for his offense to do some damage against a successful pitcher in J.A. Happ.

Trevor Bauer was scheduled to start this game, but he hurt himself on his drone. He has been bumped to Monday's game in Toronto, where the hope is that his hand will have healed enough to allow him to pitch. This may be good considering that Bauer, in 2016, pitched better on the road and Tomlin pitched better at home. However, none of that will matter if the Cleveland Indians can't find a way to score some runs off of an impressive Toronto starting rotation. Hopefully Lonnie Chisenhall, who is turning into Mr. October, can give some of the young guys like Mike Napoli some tips for dealing with the high intensity of postseason play. And now, here's the starting 9 for your Tribe:
